Spectroscopy deals with the production, measurement and interpretation of spectra due to interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter which is absorbed or emitted by atoms of a sample. This absorption or emission occurs when the atoms of the sample move from one energy level to another in presence of light. In other words, it is a science which deals how light interacts with matter. When atoms or molecules absorb electromagnetic energy, the incoming energy promotes the molecular system to a higher energy level. Electrons are promoted to higher orbitals by ultraviolet or visible light, vibrations due to infrared light and rotations due to microwaves. Electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted, absorbed or reflected by matter and each …show more content…
white light) is allowed to fall on a substance, then the frequencies absorbed by the substance are studied. This type of spectrum is an absorption spectrum and called an absorption spectroscopy. The spectrum shows that the light separated into its constituent wavelength and intensity plotted at each wavelngth. This separation process is known as Spectroscopy. In spectroscopy the emitted or absorbed radiation is split into the various frequency components and the intensity is measured by means of an instrument called a spectrometer. The resultant spectrum is usually a graph of intensity of emitted or absorbed radiation versus wavelength or frequency. The spectra used in spectroscopy varies from ultra-violet, visible, infra red ranges. The wavelength range for the three spectra are 0-400, 400-700 and above. In short, spectroscopy use to gain insight into the structure of molecules or the concentration of atoms or molecules in a sample. The chemists use infrared radiation to determine the structure of a new molecule, geologists uses ultraviolet radiation to determine the concentration of particular element in rock or …show more content…
It has been used to make significant contributions in many areas of physics and chemistry as well as in other areas of science. FTIR (also known as mid-IR) is the most commonly used vibrational technique for identification of material and authentication[]. Its applications include identification of functional groups or compound identification, determination of the strength of chemical bond and the calculation of thermodynamical properties. If one can obtain all the vibrational information from the molecule, its molecular structure can be determined. In the field of spectroscopy, two major techniques are used to detect molecular vibrational motions: Infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Infrared Spectroscopy is simply the analysis of infrared light interacting with a molecule. During infrared spectroscopy we observe transitions between vibrational energy levels of a molecule by the absorption of infrared (IR) radiation. IR spectroscopy is the powerful and analytical tool in identification, estimation, and structure determination of compounds and being able to identify the various vibrational modes of a molecule. When a molecule absorb IR radiations, the vibrations or rotations within a molecule must cause a change in the dipole moment of the molecule. During the vibrational motion of a molecule, a regular fluctuation in the dipole moment occurs and a field
The cuvette was placed in the spectrophotometer with the arrows, on both the cuvette and the SpectroVis, facing the same side. After the recording, the cuvette was removed from the SpectroVis and the content was poured back into the original volumetric flask. The absorbance as well as the maximum wavelength of each solution was recorded in Table 3 and
Unit D Summary: Light and Geometric Optics 10.1 : Light and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).
2.03 Electromagnetic Spectrum- The Visible Assignment 1. A Doppler radar can see the amount of precipitation that there is in a thunderstorm. It can also see the direction of the precipitation in a thunderstorm as it moves closer or away from the radar.

Radiation- the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization. 13. Sunlight is a form of radiation that is radiated through space to our planet without the aid of fluids. 14. The sun transfers heat through radiation of space.
This contains unique frequencies ( measured in terahertz), which geologists use to find what minerals are present within a rock, as different elements have unique frequencies. For example, gold with a depth of 23 nanometres ( a millionth of a meter) will
Light absorption occurs when atoms or molecules take up the energy of a light and reduces the transmission of light. The absorbance will increase with an increase in concentration while the transmittance will decrease with an increase in
A ray is a beam of light shining from the sun and that is the
Record the amount of absorbance by converting transmittance every 5 minutes for a total of 20 minutes. Repeat all of these steps for the cantaloupe, banana, replacing the blank each time to recalibrate the spectrophotometer. After recording all the percent transmittance value, the data was then converted into absorbance value by using the absorbance conversion table. The information was placed on a plotted graph
1- The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all type of EM radiation. It also describes the wavelength of light. EM radiation is the radiant energy that is released by a certain electromagnetic processes and a wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave. 2- The different between ionising and non-ionising radiation is that ionising radiation carries energy to ionize atoms and has more energy than non-ionising.
The objective of this experiment was to use an aldol condensation reaction to synthesize 3-nitrochalcone from 3- nitrobenzaldehyde. This was accomplished with a Diels-Alder reaction that utilized 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, acetophenone, ethanol, and sodium hydroxide. The mechanism for the synthesis of 3-nitrochalcone is presented in Figures 1 and 2. The alpha carbon on the acetophenone is deprotonated. This is followed by the attack of the alpha carbon anion on the carbonyl carbon on the 3-nitrobenzaldehyde.
Background Information: The spectrophotometer is an
The absorbance level @ 520 nm obtained from the spectrometer indicates the amount of urea obtained via measuring the absorbance of the light through the supernatant coloration, which was provided by the
Introduction As we already know UV (aka sunlight and artificial UV lighting) can cause forms of skin cancers. It seems to be common sense now days but we really don’t know how or why specifically and we also don’t really know what preventative measures actually work. As we grow up every day we expose ourselves to sunlight but unless we are going out to the beach or pool, we don’t take preventative measures to keep our skin safe from radiation and some are even attempting to do the complete opposite for beautification.
Wavelength of light is determined by amount of energy released when electron drops to lower orbit. Light is coherent; all the photons have same wave fronts that launch to unison. Laser light has tight beam and is strong and concentrated. To make these three properties occur takes something called “Stimulated Emission”, in which photon emission is
